THIS WEEK
The Utah men's golf team will make their fourth NCAA Regional appearance in program history this Monday-Wednesday as the team will compete at the Norman Regional, May 16-18. The three day, three round, 54-hole tournament will take place in Norman, Okla., at the Jimmie Austin Golf Club, home course of the top-ranked Oklahoma Sooners. This also marks the second consecutive regional appearance for the Utes.
THE FIELD
Utah will compete against a field of 13 teams with nine of the 13 squads competing this week ranking in the top-50 nationally, according to GolfStat.com. The Utes currently rank 50th overall while tournament host Oklahoma (1), Texas (7), Auburn (18), South Carolina (24), Ole Miss (25), Louisville (36), Missouri (37) and San Diego State (48) make up the other top-50 programs in the regional.
Five enter the tournament fresh off a conference championship. Oklahoma won their first Big 12 championship since 2018 as San Diego State captured their fourth Mountain West Championship since 2011, Kent State won their sixth straight MAC Championship, UT Martin secured back-to-back OVC Championships and Rider left victories with their first-ever MAAC Championship.
UTAH'S LINE-UP
The Utes' six-man lineup will consist of their normal five players in Javier Barcos, Tristan Mandur, Blake Tomlinson, Braxton Watts, Martín León and rounding out the team and making his second tournament appearance will be Oscar Maxfield.
COACHES THOUGHTS: Head Coach Garrett Clegg
"We are excited to get to Norman! We work all year to prepare for this week and it feels great to be heading out there," head coach Garrett Clegg said. "The boys have been working on their last-minute preparation for next week and are ready to go out and compete!"
TOURNAMENT DETAILS
The 2022 Division I Men's Golf Regional Championship will be a 54-hole tournament with a single round taking place on each day. The top-four individual scores from each team will make up the team score for each round.
As the ninth seed, the Utes will tee it up on Monday with seventh seed Missouri and eighth seed San Diego State. Tee times will be between 8-9 a.m. MT with the five-spot in each lineup teeing off first at 7:55 a.m. MT and the top-spot going out last at 8:39 a.m. MT. The tee times and pairings for the final two rounds are based off scores from the previous day.
Each regional features 13 or 14 teams, with the top five squads and lowest individual not on those teams from the Norman Regional will advance to the NCAA Championships, slated for May 27-June 1, at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona.
All-Conference Utes
The Pac-12 Conference announced their all-conference teams on May 4, as senior Blake Tomlinson was tabbed All-Pac-12 Honorable Mention and freshman Braxton Watts was given Honorable Mention honors on the Pac-12 All-Freshman team. This is Tomlinson's second conference honor of his career, being named to the Pac-12 All-Freshman team in 2018.
In his senior campaign, Tomlinson has been in the starting five in all 11 tournaments and finished in the top-10 in four of them. Tomlinson saw his highest finish of the year at the Duck Invitational, finishing in a team high fourth-place after shooting 2-under (211). Other tournaments Tomlinson brought home a top-10 finish from include the Mark Simpson Invitational (T-5th), Visit Stockton Invitational (T-7th) and Pac-12 Championships (T-6th).
His 72-hole score is the third lowest at a conference championship on record at Utah and became just the third Ute to finish in the top-10 at the Pac-12 Championships.
In his first season with the Utes, true freshman Watts achieved a feat that many freshmen aren't able to do in their first year of collegiate golf - earning a spot in the starting five of the teams' first tournament of the season. Making his collegiate debut at the Maui Jim in Scottsdale, Ariz., Watts shot his best round on the second 18 shooting 1-over (71).
Watts shot his lowest 18-hole individual score in the opening round of the Lake Las Vegas, starting red hot shooting 4-under (68). He captured his highest finish at the Duck Invite, finishing T-9th after shooting 2-over (215) and excelled in round two climbing the leaderboard six spots carding a 2-under (69).
